INTERESTING INFO: From the 1988 Schreiner's Iris Lovers Catalog: For vibrant color we recommend this radiant red. Red Tornado offers uniformly smooth cardinal tones coming from the maroon-brown side of the color spectrum. Outstanding vigor, large well-formed flowers, excellent substance, three branches and 7-8 buds per stem...what more can one ask? Seedling #R 194-1. (Bonus Iris, no price)
